Hi zalo,
great rack. While I was checking it out yesterday evening I found a better way for you to use stereo. Instead of having seperate chains for left and right you can use one chain. All you have to do is to set the "Phase" of the auto-pans to 0°. That way the left and right channel are processed the same.

He used serial autopans to chop up the audio. When you open up the rack and play with it you'll understand quite fast how it works.

thanks! now even more cpu efficient!!!!

i reworked it and also put an eighth note version with no on/off switch, that i have named the Rearranger

Hey all.
Since moving to an Intel Mac, I've been missing the sweet sounds of the fish fillets plugins, especially Blockfish. So I gave it a whirl this evening and threw together this vague approximation of Blockfish. The only reason I find myself opening up the rack to tweak is for the locut freq, and some of the Dynamic Tube settings. Otherwise I just leave it folded up. The only Blockfish setting I wasn't able to get was the VCA/Opto switch. I don't like how the macro knob scrolls through RMS-Peak-Opto, so I just left it off. It doesn't sound so much like Blockfish, but you can use it that way.

My other project, and I'll call it moderately successful, is the Live/Neve 1081 EQ. I actually took the frequency points from the new Chandler Little Devil EQ which is mostly based on the 1081.
If you want to use this like a hardware unit, then use only one Lo Mid freq at a time, and one Hi Mid freq at a time. On the hardware, the mids are actually frequency point switches. Q affects all frequencies (Hi or Lo mid) the same amount.
Again, sounds nothing like a 1081, or the Chandler Little Devil, but it sounds good, and is fun to use.

have fun!
I'd love to hear what you're doing with them—send me links to whatever you do!

Thought this might interest some of you who want time stretching in Sampler.

The crapily-monikered 'VeloStretch' comes in 2 versions, both available in the .zip link below. 'VeloStretch DR' is a drum rack that's designed to be used as a Slicing preset (drop it in Library/Defaults/Slicing), and 'VeloStretch' is the Sampler instrument rack.
